这场戏：错把替罪羊当凶手
第 20 章 · 共 21 章 · 2'47"
洛拉来找内夫，哭着说菲莉丝和尼诺一起杀了她爸，还说尼诺夜夜往菲莉丝家跑。内夫转头在楼下撞见基斯，基斯先说 Just hang on to your hat（扶好帽子），再丢出消息：案子 busted wide open（彻底炸开了）。想学悬疑片里宣布大消息、抖包袱的说法，这段最带劲。

洛拉哭着来找内夫：她认定尼诺和菲莉丝一起杀了她父亲，还说 I've been following him（我一直在跟踪他），尼诺夜夜往菲莉丝家跑，而凶案那晚正好没来接她。内夫嘴上劝她别多想，心里却在盘算。下班后他在楼下撞见基斯，基斯先来一句 hang on to your hat（扶好帽子），再抛出消息：That Dietrichson case just busted wide open（那案子彻底炸开了）。原来「帮她下手的那个人」露面了——她刚 filed suit（起诉）公司，基斯把尼诺当成了真凶，还发誓要在法庭上 tear them to pieces（把他们撕成碎片）。内夫忽然明白：基斯一直在跟他玩 cat-and-mouse（猫鼠游戏），只是盯错了人。想学悬疑片里抖消息、放狠话的说法，这段最实用。
A1–C2 是欧标等级。点一个等级后，比它高的卡片会变淡，播放到那里不会自动暂停。
“I only wish it were, Walter, 'cause I still love him.”
我倒希望是，沃尔特，因为我还爱他。
爱和怀疑同时成立，一句话把人钉在原地。
I only wish it were, 'cause ...
听到自己不愿相信的猜测时能用，对真心难过的人别拿来抬杠。
I wish that were true, but I still love him. ／ Part of me hopes you're wrong.
口语
only 重读，'cause 轻带，love him 放慢。
I only wish it were, 'cause I still trust her. 我倒希望是这样，因为我还信她。
“When we get them in that courtroom, I'll tear them to pieces, both of them.”
等把他们弄进法庭，我要把他们俩撕成碎片。
把法律程序说成一场拆卸，杀气全在动词里。
When we get them ..., I'll tear them to pieces.
对要正面交锋的对手放狠话时能用，对家人朋友别这么说。
Once I have them in court, I'll take them apart. ／ I'll tear their story to shreds.
口语
tear 重读，to pieces 顿开收尾。
When we meet in the final, I'll tear them to pieces. 等决赛碰头，我要把他们打得落花流水。
“Maybe you knew all along I was the somebody else.”
也许你一直都知道我就是那个同伙。
把怀疑反手扣回对方，轻描淡写却最要命。
Maybe you knew all along (that) ...
半开玩笑地点破对方早知情时能用，真指控之前先想清楚。
Maybe you saw it from the start. ／ Perhaps you knew who I was all along.
中性
Maybe 轻起，all along 加重。
Maybe you knew all along the plan was fake. 也许你一直都知道这计划是假的。
“I've been following him. He's been to her house, night after night.”
我一直在跟踪他。他一连好几晚都去她家。
前一句交代行动，后一句甩出证据，night after night 把疑心堆成实锤。
night after night
叙述反复发生、越看越不对劲的事时用，私下讲给信任的人听合适，正式汇报要换成更中性的说法。
He goes to her place every single night. ／ I watched him, and it was the same routine nightly.
中性
following him 连读，night after night 两个 night 都重读。
He's been coming home late, night after night. 他一连好几晚都回来得很晚。
下一章 · 21brushed off被甩开这场戏：登门摊牌设局意思是彻底炸开、再也藏不住了。基斯说 That Dietrichson case just busted wide open，就是「那案子一下子炸开了」，形容谜团突然被捅破。
用 hang on to your hat。基斯要放大消息前先说 Just hang on to your hat, Walter，意思是「扶好帽子」，等于中文的「坐稳了，有个大消息」。
指猫鼠游戏、欲擒故纵，一方明明看穿却故意吊着对方。内夫怀疑基斯早就知道真凶是自己，一直在跟他玩这套。
意思是打掩护、当幌子。洛拉说 Maybe he was just going with me as a blind，就是「也许他跟我来往只是在打掩护」，掩饰他和菲莉丝的来往。
用 scared stiff。内夫回忆当时说 I was scared stiff, Keyes，就是「我当时吓傻了」。stiff 是僵住的意思，形容怕得动不了。
